Obstruction of the iliac veins due to markedly distended urinary bladder demonstrated by radionuclide venography. A case report.
An unusual case of obstruction of the iliac veins by a markedly distended urinary bladder (UB) is presented. Initial radionuclide venography (RNV) was positive, revealing obstruction of the iliac veins associated with marked dilatation of the UB. After the UB was emptied, RNV was negative.
